Product Details:

Karen's Heart: The True Story of a Brave Baby Orangutan is a heartwarming story of a brave orangutan's journey through history-making heart surgery and her resulting recovery. Karen the Orangutan has always been special to her caretakers at the San Diego Zoo. As a baby, Karen needed extra attention from the zoo's caretakers so she could thrive in the nursery after her mother was unable to care for her. When she was one year old, Karen returned to her orangutan family. Soon after, her caretakers noticed she was not growing as quickly as she should have. Karen was examined by veterinarians and cardiologists, who discovered that she had a life-threatening heart murmur caused by a hole in her heart. To save Karen's life, a surgery team from UC San Diego Medical Center performed open-heart surgery on her - which marked the first time in history that open-heart surgery had been performed on an orangutan.
